There are many palaces and forbidden gardens, and I thought they were abandoned. So it was possible to generate income like this?
Li Shimin said happily, “It’s great! I’m going to write a letter to let Fang Xuanling and Du Keming come to Luoyang for fun!”
Li Yuan said, “You can call Changsun Wuji too.”
Li Shimin said, “He wants to take care of his mother and sister, and may not come. Well, I’ll write a letter to invite him.”
Li Yuan asked, “What kind of friends do you have? Let’s invite them together.”
Li Xuanba said, “The friend of the second brother is my friend.”
Li Yuan was helpless: “How come you, a child, are you so introverted?”
Li Xuanba was puzzled: “I’m not introverted.”
Li Yuan sighed: “Okay, if you say you are not eccentric, you are not eccentric. You don’t have to worry about the matters where the nobles are. Rather than saying that they test whether I am on Your Majesty’s side, they want to test how much your Majesty’s favor is. Now that they have tested it, it’s time to please us next.”
Li Yuan didn’t say much. After he spent dinner with his two children, he went into the study and wrote for whom he wrote, and the candlelight was lit until midnight.
Dongdu was silent for a day.
On the third day, many noble families invited Li Shimin and Li Xuanba to visit, and even noble families sent generous gifts to apologize for the banquet.
These are all the brainless playboys in our family, and they don’t represent our original intention. Don’t get me wrong!
Li Xuanba said: “That’s what they mean.”
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said: “Haha, don’t get me wrong. This arrogant first and then respectfully confused me. I thought that those nobles were going to exclude us.”
Li Xuanba asked someone to record the gift and then return the gift, and said in his heart: [Second brother, you have made a diode mistake that later history enthusiasts often make when studying history. 】
Li Shimin looked at his younger brother silently. What history lovers and diodes are you? I can’t understand!
Li Xuanba didn’t care whether Li Shimin could understand it or not, and continued to talk: [In the future generations often divided groups and treated a group as a person with unified thinking. For example, the old nobles of the six countries, local tyrants, gentry families, nobles and military generals, and civil servants in the imperial examinations. When it comes to the writing, the enemies of the Sui and Tang dynasties must be the gentry family, and the enemies of the Song and Ming dynasties must be the civil servants of the Shilin. 】
Li Shimin’s eyelids hopped hard.
Although he had guessed something from his younger brother’s “prophecy”, his younger brother turned the “Sui and Tang” together this time, which still scared his little heart to almost pop out of his chest.
Li Xuanba: [In fact, there is no possibility of a certain group that can advance and retreat together? Dividing groups is just to allow future generations to better understand the interests of the time, but the groups they divide themselves do not have themselves.It is a collective consciousness and will not do anything for the sake of unity as one of one’s own group. For example, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were aristocratic families among the people who were dragging their backs, and most of the ministers who reformed the current problems also came from aristocratic families. The same is true for Song and Ming Dynasty. 】
Li Shimin thought, could the Song and Ming dynasties be the dynasty after the Sui and Tang dynasties?
Li Xuanba: [Yang Guang’s restructuring did harm the interests of Guan Long Xungui. But when the Sui Dynasty was still strong, the Guanlong nobles would not unite to do anything, but instead would have more intense internal competition to compete for the remaining interests. They did not take advantage of the situation until the Sui Dynasty was weak. When the peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty, the Guanlong nobles tried hard to help Yang Guang quell the rebellion. 】
Li Shimin’s eyelids hopped hard a few more times.
What is a peasant uprising? Isn’t that a rebellion of the thief? ! Brother, you say this as if you are standing on the side of the thief!
Li Xuanba: [In fact, in addition to our Tang Duke’s Mansion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although Xue Ju was born in the Xue family in Hedong, he was actually just a branch. He had moved to Jincheng, Lanzhou and was a border tyrant. The name of the “Xue family in Hedong” was just a Lianzong; there was no need to say that Li Mi was the army of Zhai Rang, the leader of the peasant uprising army, and was just a despicable villain; in addition, Wang Shichong was a Hu person and Dou Jiande was a commoner. 】
